-Tempus is the KVM template name for CentOS 6.5 on the Proxmox cluster. It was created from a bare Minimal install from CentOS 6.5 netinstall, with common packages (e.g. vim) added for convenience. 
- 
- 
-====== Added packages ====== 
- 
-  *  vim 
-  *  htop 
-  *  epel-release 
-  *  screen 
-  *  wget 
-  *  bind-utils (dig and friends) 
- 
- 
-====== Cloning ====== 
- 
-Right click VM 102 (tempus.tardis.ed.ac.uk) under gallifrey and select Clone. Use the following settings: 
-  *  Target node: Gallifrey (you can migrate it after cloning) 
-  *  Mode: Full Clone (linked ties it to the template!) 
-  *  Target Storage: local 
-  *  Format: QEMU image format (qcow2) 
- 
- 
-====== Post-Clone ====== 
- 
-After cloning the VM, the VM itself needs some changes: 
-  *  Add a Bridged VirtIO Network Device in Hardware (no VLAN, no Firewall) 
-  *  Adjust memory capacity as needed 
-  *  Expand (not reduce) disk space as needed. Reconfiguring LVM is left as an exercise for the reader. 
- 
-The VM network needs to be reconfigured (its default is DHCP, with adapter as a NAT to the VM host): 
-  *  Set static IP 
-  *  Change hostname from tempus.tardis.ed.ac.uk to the correct one. 
- 
-Both of these steps should be done by running system-config-network, which is a TUI for configuring interfaces **and** DNS settings. To add the network device: 
-  *  In Device configuration, select "<New Device>" 
-  *  Ethernet 
-  *  Name can be anything 
-  *  Device: eth1 
-  *  Static IP: The machine IP address 
-  *  Netmask: 255.255.255.192 
-  *  Primary gateway IP: 193.62.81.1 
-  *  Primary DNS Server: 193.62.81.14 
-  *  Secondary DNS Server: 8.8.8.8 (just in case Leela is down) 
- 
-Then to load the interface on boot: 
-  *  Open /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-NAME (where NAME is the name set earlier) 
-  *  Change ONBOOT=no to ONBOOT=yes 
-  *  Save. 
- 
-The needed settings under DNS Configuration are here: 
-  *  Hostname: Set to machine name with .tardis.ed.ac.uk postfix. 
-  *  Primary DNS: 193.62.81.14 
-  *  Secondary DNS: 8.8.8.8 
-  *  Tertiary DNS: 8.8.4.4 
-  *  Search Domain: tardis.ed.ac.uk 
- 
-The rest of the VM should(tm) be fully functional out of the box, including root SSH.
